3/12/2014

The Loras College music department is proud to announce that the Iowa City New Horizons Band will be joining the Loras College Wind Ensemble at their mid-winter concert at 7:30 p.m., Saturday March 15, 2014 in the Fieldhouse on campus.

The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) is a worldwide organization comprised of over 200 New Horizons groups and 9,000 members. New Horizons music groups consist of former musicians who reacquainted themselves with their instruments and music abilities while rekindling their musical passions. These talented individuals, all over the age of 50, showcase not only their musical talent but their unlimited passion to get back into the musical community and perform like they have done years in the past.

Loras College’s ensemble, conducted by Glenn Pohland, DMA., will be performing selections from the Sound of Music, as well as numerous collaborations with the New Horizons musicians.
